I have a "partially" wireless home network. Two computers and a PS3 hardwired, one laptop and a media streaming device wirelessly connected.
My problem is that the media streaming device has only WEP security, it does not recognize WPA at all. I am planning on hardwiring this device, eventually (for a year now), but I am wondering, How at risk am I with this setup? The area I live in is fairly spread out, that is, the houses are not on top of one another.
I was able to connect to my neighbors network wirelessly, but it was a very weak signal. Please be aware that I only did this one time, just to see if mine could also be "intruded".
I realize people Wardrive nowadays also. I do have my router set up to not display my network SSID, Mac filtering enabled, only allows MAC addresses listed to connect and so on. I know this is stuff can be hacked fairly easily.
Anything else I should do, until I hardwire the media device?
